Give a gift that lasts forever… a permanent memorial or tribute brick to a loved one. Celebrate special occasions, show your support, and help fulfill the mission of The Denver Hospice.

Memorial Wall: The Louann and Micky Miller Family Light Up a Life Memorial Wall is a tribute to friends, family and colleagues who are remembered with a gift given in their honor. Individuals who make a donation in honor of an individual of $1,000 or more will result in that individual’s name being included on this wall.
The gentle blue sky and the overhead illumination provide a reminder of the light that each individual’s memory continues to emanate. Additional tributes will be added to the wall on an annual basis. A booklet kept at reception chronicles where each name appears. We thank the Miller Family and the thousands of grateful families and friends of The Denver Hospice for making this memorial possible.

Personalized Brick: A personalized brick is great way to pay tribute to or memorialize a special loved one or to commemorate your sentiments or favorite saying in a lasting way. Bricks will be displayed at our Inpatient Care Center at Lowry on the east side of the front entrance.
Giving by cash, check or credit card is one of the most common and easiest ways to make an outright charitable contribution to The Denver Hospice.
If you itemize tax deductions on your tax return, the first tangible benefit you receive when making an annual gift by cash, check or credit card is a tax deduction for the full value of your gift.
The second benefit is seeing the immediate results of your generosity. When you make an annual gift, you are demonstrating a strong commitment to the patients and families we serve each day.
Some of the gifts The Denver Hospice receives are those given in memory of a friend, family member or loved one. When a loved one passes away, The Denver Hospice would like to help you honor and/or pay tribute to their life. All memorial gifts will be acknowledged with a card to the person you designate. Please tell us whom you wish to remember, and the name and address of the person we should notify of your gift.

Publicly traded securities are great assets to give. They are easily valued without an appraisal and are easy to transfer. Donating appreciated securities before they are sold typically results in a tax advantage.
A tax deduction is normally allowed based on the market value at the time of the gift. Since the deduction is based on current value, rather than cost, no tax is paid on the appreciation.

A charitable contribution of real estate/property will give you numerous advantages. These properties may include your personal residence, a vacation home, a farm, commercial real estate or vacant land. Gifts of appreciated property typically qualify for an immediate tax deduction and result in the avoidance of tax on appreciation. The amount of the deduction for a contribution of real estate is normally valued at the current market value of the property.

The Denver Hospice endowment is held and managed by The Denver Hospice. It is invested for both income and growth, with a portion of the return used each year to fund the essential needs at The Denver Hospice Inpatient Care Center at Lowry. Endowments are the most reliable assets available to an institution to build and maintain quality over time. No other form of giving addresses the needs of our care center more effectively.
When a donor invests in an endowment, the gift supports Clinical programs, research, education and advocacy in perpetuity. The Denver Hospice currently has one primary endowment. Soon, The Denver Hospice will offer additional endowment opportunities (endowed funds, endowed chairs, etc.) for our philanthropic community.
